ARTISTS PERFORMING:
JILL DAWSON
The music of singer/songstress Jill Dawson has been described as a “remarkable blend of folk and pop.” More recently, her songs are also flavored with sprinkles of jazz and blues, reflecting her Chicago roots. Jill has been featured on WGN radio, in Seventeen Magazine, and endorsed by Dove’s Self Esteem Fund’s Global Ambassador for empowering women and girls through music. In 2009, her song “When I Dream” was launched as the theme for the children’s apparel company Pigtail Pals. In 2010, her song "Never Home" (co-written with Greg Steele) was recorded and released by Gaia Galvan, the winner of the Midwest Artist Search. More recently, Jill founded her nonprofit endeavor, the Melody for Change Project, using music to raise awareness for organizations empowering youth. Through this effort, she composed themes for several nonprofits, including the Teen Nickelodeon Halo Award winner, "We Stop Hate" (as seen on OWN and MTV). Tracks from both of Jill’s previously released CDs (First Time Around, Acoustically Yours) received national and international airplay, and are available on iTunes. Currently, Jill is recording her third full-length CD with Redfish Recordings. Website: www.jilldawson.com
